Is iTunes killing music?


I read this article on billboard today.It goes on to suggest that the iTunes craze that has been plaguing the world by storm over the last couple years may indeed be a culprit to the slump in the music industry. All over the world, people were thrilled at the opportunity to one-click certain tracks that they liked. At a certain point some labels took heed to this trend, which in turn allowed them to release some artists' albums via iTunes only.


Artists' like AC/DC and Kid Rock only want the albumns to be released as a whole. However, the initial purpose of iTunes prohibites this feature. The lack to comply betweent Apple and the two groups failed to leave a dent with the digital music powerhouse. So, this action made Kid Rock to choose Rhapsody, while AC/DC stuck with Walmart. Surprising enough iTunes lost was someone else gain.
